Mis-aligned logo

[Wilkinson4]

Re-lace the wheel opposite of the way it was, pre-stress the spokes and ride it for exactly 100 miles. It should unwind and fix it self Wow, at first I thought it was just the logo but damn that thing looks like it got twisted.

The other hub is a 32 hole 501 model.

Well, that pretty much answers the 'is the hub twisted?' question. Since the holes on the rim are offset, the holes in the hub are not. I suspect the tension is going to be a little 'weird'.

I would not reuse that hub, perhaps with the exception of radial lacing which will allow for more even tension but I am not sure if the that hub is rated for radial lacing. As of trying to reverse lace it to twist it back I can only imagine that would weaken the hub at the twist point to the point of potential failure.

It has been prepped for a paired spoke rim

That hub is junk. The lacing error is in the lower right quadrant.

I think I see it now too. The bottom right vertical spoke is coming off almost radially, instead of almost tangentially.

It looks as if the pattern is correct except that it was off by one hole (one side relative to the other) and as you increased the tension the hub twisted as the spoke tensions tried to equalize. Hub is definitely junk though.

I really can't see what you mean? If you use the picture above the profile picture, what you state isn't true. That picture is clearer.
PS, I tried to post that picture again but it's telling me the picture is already posted in the thread.

Here are 2 pictures of the inside of the hub shell. Top is the damage, bottom photo is the other end.
